In this post, I’d like to share some of the things I learnt as well as reflect on the use of comics in language teaching from my personal experience. To start with, I’ll suggest 6 great comic creation tools! The first four are simpler to use and there is no need to sign up in order to employ them. The rest two are a bit more sophisticated, thus more appropriate for older students or very competent computer users. 1. 2. ?! 3. 4. 5. 6. Why? Because… Comics are a great way to inspire and motivate students of all ages!

Do you have an assignment to create a story based on something you learned at school? Or do you just feel like goofing around and making a comic strip? Is your story about Roman gods, Little Red Riding Hood, friendship, or the future? When you have chosen a thematic universe, you get access to background images, props, and characters, as well as your own uploaded media files, which you can see to the right of the frame you are working on.

Above the main frame, you will find all available functions for your cartoon. Clipboard Here, you can cut, paste, and copy elements from a frame. Frames Here, you will find functions for the frame.You can give the frame a name or a descriptive text under Properties. Drawing Formatting Here, you can work with the appearance of your text, lines, and bubbles. Expression When you work with a frame, you can zoom in and out with the control at the bottom right. Good luck!
